Korea leads the world in announcing the plan to construct the world's tallest buildings ...
A cool webpage:

Search the word Seoul or Korea and note the word preposed ... |
Looking at the buildings under construction...
I did not know that the adult toy market was such an inspiration to modern skyscraper architecture. I wonder what size batteries the Abbco Rotana Hotel takes. |

| Actually the 63 building is only 60 stories above the ground. In order to get to 63 they had to count the three floors that exist below ground. |

True. So I guess some of Korea's tallest buildings are its subway stations. |

Have you ever noticed how DEEP some of the stations are.
There is a cool arcitectural model of Mongtongseong Station in MongtongSeong Station and the scale is 1 / 200. The model is over 2 feet tall, thus the tracks are about 400' down.
Bombshelters ...
BTW: has anyone else seen the blacked out / urban cammo military subway trains ? |
